Things have definitely took a turn for the better, I have finished my dissertation, chose to cut my hours in work, and really feel less stressed about life π
My daughter is healthy, she is teaching herself potty training! She just out of nowhere told us she needed a weewee and we took her the toilet and since then, things have been progressing.
Now the hard part:
I have been speaking to someone who found a post of mine about wanting to do a boat project. He knows of a 26 foot MacWester that is about to be scuttled and I have been granted permission to take possession of her.
Heres the problem, she has no engine and would have to be transported here (about 300 miles) which I have the money here to do, she needs an engine and fitted which I have the money here to do, and she needs a home. My girlfriend thinks that we would be stretching things if we took her to a Marina for a mooring. I agree that times would be tight for a few months, but as I am about to Graduate, surely a graduate position will increase my income and allow for something like this?
I really dont know what to do, she needs a new engine and a good paint, and then she will be shipshape, I don’t have a garden to store her (well, I do but if the locals see a boat in our garden the house would be robbed followed by the boat!) and if I chose the mooring, then we will have to cut back on luxuries until I get a new job.
The other option is to continue saving until we are in a much better position to buy something a little newer.
I open the question to my readers, what would you do?
This is her:
